Made in Oregon

Our very own brand of Republican sleaze.

Uh-oh, LIARS can't be too happy about that. Berkman was LIARS big ace-in-the-hole 'get' for the voice of bobble-head agreement on days when the nose-lengthening lies grew out as far as a tree limb, and realworld contradiction was starting to saw it off. When he'd be calling Republicans "phony conservatives," then he'd call Berkman in, to epitomize REAL Republican ethics.

Besides, Berkman was LIARS go-between connection to McCain and Chertoff and Rove and Brownback and Huckabee and a host of other so-called 'conservatives' which you and me know as white-collar criminals. (Get it? white 'caller' ...)

One thing we can say for those smash-face radio talkers, though: They sure are tougher than kids with autism.

Now, the illness du jour is autism. You know what autism is? I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is.

What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, "Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot."

... That's what I was raised with. That's what you should raise your children with. Stop with the sensitivity training. You're turning your son into a girl, and you're turning your nation into a nation of losers and beaten men. That's why we have the politicians we have.

Quoting radio partner 'Savage', who LIARS is the warm-up act for, on KXL 750AM GOP hatetalk radio.

In response to Savage's remarks, the insurance company AFLAC announced it will no longer sponsor Savage's program, while the seven-station Super Talk Mississippi radio network has decided to drop Savage's program ....

Maybe Mississippi ain't 'Republican' enough for real conservative crime-talk, but LIARS is no double-crossing betrayer and sticks together with his radio buddies Berkman and Savage, bringing political news to Oregonians in the broadcast network cloud they suffocate the State with.

Maybe you'd prefer the Mighty 1190?

Turn the dial to the right.

Tenskwatawa, you seem to have an unhealthy infatuation with Lars Larson. Listen to a little more whiney, smarmy Carl Wolfson or Thom Hartmann for a little balance. You'll feel a lot better.

It’s only Republicans that have ever received donations from dubious donors? Ask Obama about Rezko, or Hillary about Schwartz and Hsu.

Tens,

You're a bit too tense. Chill a bit.
Really, did "Liars" put you on hold for too long one day or something?

BTW, when "Liars" was asked about Savage a couple of months ago, he sort of hemmed and hawed at first - then came right out and said he thinks the guy's nuts. On air!

Somehow, I doubt he'll be filling in for Savage any time soon....

Tensky,

Check the love radio at KPOJ.

Mike Malloy, Sam Cedar, Randi Rhodes etc. will suffocate you with love.
For more warm and fuzzy blog away at DailyKos.
Besides those places are where smart people like you hang out.

And Tensky
Can you give us one example of a Lars lie or one example of Lars hate?
You're the authority and Lars tracker.

Though bashing on republicans is popular at the moment, they don't hold a monopoly on sleaze.

This just happens to be the latest corrupt political donor to be caught. Already this year there have been several, linked to other prominent candidates, including candidates this blog endorses with a prominently-displayed badge in the left gutter.

Sleazy political operators are sleazy. In other breaking news, water is still wet.
